The reporter, found beaten and suffocated in her house, was just the victim of a robbery, according to prosecutors and a local court.</p> <p>But many of her colleagues don't believe it. The man convicted of the crime was tortured into a confession, they allege. And the magazine she works for says state officials discussed sending police across the country in an attempt to hunt down and seize another reporter who raised questions about the death.</p> <br /><a href="http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-latinamerica/3892-mexico-remembers-regina-martinez.html" target="_blank">Read more ...</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=IN1Juj0V5Vc:HtL50Xby1Y4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=IN1Juj0V5Vc:HtL50Xby1Y4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?i=IN1Juj0V5Vc:HtL50Xby1Y4:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=IN1Juj0V5Vc:HtL50Xby1Y4:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?i=IN1Juj0V5Vc:HtL50Xby1Y4:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestFromSafeWorld/~4/IN1Juj0V5Vc" height="1" width="1"/> 2013-04-28T21:05:17+00:00 http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-latinamerica/3892-mexico-remembers-regina-martinez.html http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-latinamerica/3892-mexico-remembers-regina-martinez.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestFromSafeWorld/~3/OR6AfD_r9pU/3889-cecile-kyenge.html <p><img height="100" width="200" alt="Cecile-Kyenge" src="http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/images/stories/Cecile-Kyenge.jpg" height="200" width="400" /></p> <p>Italy’s new Prime Minister Enrico Letta has appointed Cécile Kyenge Minister of Integration.</p> <p>For years, Ms. Kyenge,&nbsp;originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been fighting for rights of immigrants in Italy as one of the officials of the Democratic Party’s Immigration Forum.</p> <br /><a href="http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-europe/3889-cecile-kyenge.html" target="_blank">Read more ...</a><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=OR6AfD_r9pU:yP1jQSiFkQA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=OR6AfD_r9pU:yP1jQSiFkQA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?i=OR6AfD_r9pU:yP1jQSiFkQA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?a=OR6AfD_r9pU:yP1jQSiFkQA:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/LatestFromSafeWorld?i=OR6AfD_r9pU:yP1jQSiFkQA:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestFromSafeWorld/~4/OR6AfD_r9pU" height="1" width="1"/> 2013-04-28T19:23:19+00:00 http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-europe/3889-cecile-kyenge.html http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/rights-defenders/rd-europe/3889-cecile-kyenge.html http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestFromSafeWorld/~3/BO9XjN8J2Js/3890-personal-assault-alarm-for-human-rights-activists-at-risk.html <p><img height="100" width="200" alt="Natalia Project" src="http://www.asafeworldforwomen.org/images/stories/Rights_Defenders/Global/Natalia-project.jpg" height="200" width="400" /></p> <p>On July 15, 2009, Natalia Estemirova was abducted and later found murdered because of her committed human rights work.
